Many of those involved in the project were hams.

Ahh, yes. Hams doing non-ham stuff.
I wonder if they calculated the distance to the moon correctly?

Well, Brian, Jimmie done took the post bus out of Monmouth
often enough, could see the big bedspring radar antennas at
The Labs (there were 3 laboratory installations along the
highway). I'm sure he has contributed his Oral History
recording for the archives as have all the veterans of Project
Diana. [hand salute!]

Maybe he forgot to mention the First Ham in Space! According
to tonight's Jeopardy program clues, Ham the Chimp was the
first "American" in space. :-)


That reminds me--I wonder how Mike Coslo's gas bag launch project is
going. How high will "Leonard" go?

It is going okay. I just stopped writing about it here since it was
"impossible to do" 8^)

Don't let 'em grind you down, Mike.

If you don't stencil "LEONARD" on the first one, justice will not have
been done. A web site with corroborating photos will be a must.
